3-Hour Workshop
12 pm - 3 pm EDT, Wednesday, June 24
In this 3-hour workshop, we’ll explore improv curves by piecing an improv curved log cabin. Have you always wanted to sew an improvised curve, but haven't found the courage yet? Have you tried it before, but your fabric just wouldn’t lie flat? In this workshop, students will learn Lisa’s techniques and will afterwards approach those curves with confidence.
We also address the question: How do I choose colors and fabrics for an impressive quilt? How do I choose a color scheme that is pleasing to the eye? What is value of colors and how does it help me make a convincing choice of color and fabric?
We will aim to make a smaller project or the beginning of a larger piece. It's going to be a lot of fun! For this class, you need to be able to cut with a rotary cutter and sew a 1/4 inch seam. The class will help you get confident with those curves and will add a great new technique to your improv toolbox.
All Levels
Students to Provide
Fabric requirements for the Whirlpool Workshop: It’s very difficult to give exact fabric amounts and measurements when working on an improv piece. A good selection of different fabrics is very helpful; you might want to use a mix of prints and solids. You can use scraps or fat quarters from your stash in coordinating colors for accents and contrast. We will only use a small amount of fabric in the class and the final amount needed will depend on the quilt top you want to make. Please bring as much as possible of larger quilting cotton fabric scraps (at least 10 x 6 inches) in many colors. In this course, we will not complete a project, feel free to bring “exercise materials” if you just want to learn the technique.
Equipment requirements for the Whirlpool Workshop:
- Sewing Machine
- ¼ inch sewing foot
- Good quality Thread in an appropriate weight for piecing
- Chalk marker
- Water Soluble Pen for Fabric
- Large Rotary Cutter - with a new blade
- Small Rotary cutter, for example OLFA 18mm RTY-4
- Very sharp embroidery scissors
- Spray starch or another ironing aid

- Ironing station
- Empty Waterbrush Pen medium size
- Fabric Pins
- Cutting Mat
- Small Patchwork Ruler, for example Omnigrid-Marking-Trio-Ruler-Set
- Fabric Scissors
- Paper Scissors
- Thread cutter
- A positive mindset towards improv and letting go of perfection ;o)
